Being Small

Haha must take this short reprive from the pressures of school!



















I do love the ordinary. & sometimes it feels nice to just be part of something, just one of the footprints on this Earth.. nothing special.

I want to be committed! Not because I have a great responsibility.. but juz caus I want. But with responsibility, I seem to have lost the right to comment.. With responsibility, I cannot judge how ones time should be allocated.. With responsibility, people listen, but do they understand? Haha.. hope so!
So sometimes I hope to be small, so I can do what I believe in, not what I should be doing.


I felt...
Warmth as the foliage of the trees sheltered me from the rain during the last 2 trips to Ubin. Rainy days with Ezoac again! But fun, laughter & comfort nonetheless!
Hope as the breeze today brought with it a gentle message that there are better & more exciting days to come!
Happiness, for my great bunch of classmates! & juniors in 07s7e, who are really a vibrant lot!
Conquest, as a nice new checkpoint was discovered as us Getafix GIs (waikuan & I) stumbled up a small hill to search for the Rock Lion!
Joy, as I remembered the special days & nights before, && great days ahead!

Haha being small ain't exactly bad.
At least I can take a step back, enjoy the world & friends.

Life
The way I see it

A Title In Name

Sometimes i can't understand, & sometimes i make the wrong decisions. In spite of all this, I did receive gratification.

Maybe stuff just can't be handled by 1 alone.

I need guidance, just as I need discipline. I need to lend a listening ear, just as I need commitment. I need understanding, just as I need support.

Maybe stuff just can't be handled by 1 alone. But, maybe I'm wrong.
By 1 batch?

Definitely!
Titles
are meaningless

A Long long Time Ago

Haha... seeing the third class of 7E emerge in the year of 07 juz makes me proud! I looked at my juniors, and they seemed like a bunch of likable and studious bunch, && Active in sports and games too!
07S7E...
Isn't so much of a unevenly mixed class, in terms of guy to girl ratio, as well as in other forms of comparison
I'm just glad for them, more than i am for myself i guess... It did feel like I was transcended back in time, to the point where I first met my class. Since then, my class did make some inroads!!! But maybe we just waited too long before doing so... NOW.. I guess its time to make some changes...

Extraordinary Days

I've got a smile on my face & I've got great friends around me.
I've got the sun in the sky & great scenery surrounds me.
I win while sometimes I lose. I've been battered but I'm never bruised

Its not a perfect life, but these are extraordinary days!


Its not hard... Juz smile & look forward.
2007's brought to me a much greater appreciation of the people around me, and the determination to keep optimistic! These are busy times, but its these times which spur you on to be focussed, disciplined and appreciative of great memories, great friendships, great days ahead.

2007 came... with this prospect of occupying the OAC bench! Its not the physical presence of ourselves on this bench we didnt dare sit a year ago, but it seemed more like this avenue for us batchmates to gather, to share, to mingle. haha the OAC bench also does more than that! Its our pride & joy, a place where we were first introduced to the HC OAC community, a place where we gathered for the most enjoyable of activities in school! This brown bench is NOTHING without the community that gathered, & i'm just glad we grow together in this batch!

My class's not bad! Maybe if i did bother to embrace them more. Alot of times I just want to escape from the stifling studious atmosphere.. to chat to laugh & to momentarily forget about studies. But its a crucial year.. & i'm just glad I have a class which is focussed!Its possibly the greatest asset the class has collectively, & I should be glad abt it!

2007 will be this excitingly busy year! Just OAC & studies.. haha. As seniors now, this short one year term in OAC has changed us, has enriched us. We can't be selfish people! So now lets just work hard to pass the baton to young ones who would share our joys, our goals & our experiences!

Looking back again... we did grow.





















& now its time once again to look forward, & smile! :)

Remember
Those Extraordinary Days
